Begur Costa Brava what to do and where to go.

It’s eleven o’clock on a Monday morning and I’m sitting in the square drinking coffee. The bells of the old tower echo softly around the square. The yellow brick of the ancient church walls creates a striking contrast against the mediterranean blue of the sky. The clear mountain air brings new life to my poor city lungs.
I have escaped once again to recharge my batteries.
Life in This area of Catalonia moves to the beat of a different drum, slower and more measured time takes on new meaning.

I want to share my experience of this little bit of heaven with you, I hope you enjoy my blog and find it useful. I will share my knowledge and my experiences of this area with you and hope you enjoy Catalonia as much a I do.

Please tell me about your experiences of this area and comment on restaurants and things you did that were great and not so great !

There are a great range of different courses close to Begur. The nearest is Platja de Pals, a tree -lined tight course, Par 73. It is a flat course, however it is more demanding than it appears and keeping the ball out of the trees can be a challenge!! Green fees in this area are not cheap, however, open days can be a little cheaper.

2 km further away you have Emporda Golf, a complex with two courses -Links Par71 and Forest Par 72. Here they have an open day on a Wed. called the birdie club. These are two very different courses and will give you two very different experiences.

Perpignan is only a little over an hour and a half from Begur, however we were surprised at how much more expensive it is. I is worth noting that if you take a day trip from Spain, make sure your car fuel tank is full as it is at least 15c more a litre in France.
